I don't know anything about virtusa and his returns. We'll need to see what his response is about beating bitcoin. But my point is, what's worse....virtusa making a (outlandish?) claim or is it constant bullying from an ET member who so happens to agree with Baron about how maaaarvelous crypto is and how one day it will again go into the stratosphere.
Although I applaud your loyalty, I think you may want to hit the pause button until you hear a response from your buddy who has now gone completely silent on you.
Getting back to trading, if BTC was to take out recent lows on lighter volume and move sideways couple weeks, my positions would reverse. Everyone has few opinions on markets, except for Enron, nothing goes straight down. K-mart once went down to 50 cents, Seats Holding bought them out and stocks soared over $100 before slowly went bankrupt. Sears was once 1% of USA gnp and Kmart was catching up. https://www.indigo9digital.com/blog/failureofsears Am no longer buy and hold trader, I just don't see another 2008/2009 in next ten years. Commodities and stock credit spreads show me most promise.
I'm not deflecting anything. Perhaps johnarb is right. Perhaps there is in fact a liar in the building. But maybe there's not. That's what we're trying to find out. I have asked Virtusa to verify that what he said was true and accurate, and I've asked you twice to confirm that you understand what Virtusa stated in his own words in regards to his profitability claim over a 9-year period of time. You have yet do that. He has yet to do that. So we are all literally just sitting here waiting on answers to very simple questions.
It's not about me being buddy with virtusa, have said before I wouldn't know the difference of him and a bar of soap. The point is, you are running a journal where you are protecting your buddy johnarb from not only bullying but from seriosly contravening TOS. Most can accept a bit of rivalry, if johnarb had said once or twice virtusa is a liar then who cares. But johnarb who is btw lying himself, has used this term over 40 times.
So you're saying you have no knowledge whatsoever of Virtusa as a person, but somehow you know for a fact that he's not a liar and therefore johnarb is violating the TOS here by calling him one? Please clarify that's what you're stating.
I don't care too much about virtusa's claims. There are numerous ways to trade, some are better than others. Who knows what and how he trades or what size, we'll never find out. But constant bullying which you allow on your journal, what are you going to do about that?
